Scarlet AC Gaughen Books

I didn't think I could love Robin Hood or the legend of Robin Hood any more than I already have, but I'm totally in love with A.C. Gaughen's verion of this historical hero. Her writing is flawless! She not vividly describes what it was like to live during this time period, she also captures the feelings of the people, and the hope Robin Hood and his band of thieves brought to them. I felt like she perfectly crafted together a story of how I envision a younger version of Robin Hood. I absolutely love what she's done with the lore of Robin Hood, Marian and Will Scarlet, not to mention John and the rest of the lively characters present in this story.

I was blown away at the character of Will Scarlet. I loved the notion that Will could have very easily been a girl in disguise and A.C. did an amazing job at making Scarlet, known as Scar believable. The story follows Scar and getting this inside glance of being apart of her life and apart of Robin's band was fascinating. I loved the danger, romance, and action that made up this story. Scar is truly become one of my all time favorite heroines. Her bravery, fearlessness, loyalty and all around butt kicking attitude made her admirable in my eyes while reading her story. She's a character who's flawed, broken, carries around a horrible grief she hides from those around her and she truly wants to save those in Nottingham who are suffering. Scar's a bit rough around the edges, but the more I got to know and understand her the more her behavior and the way she acted made sense.

The tensions and chemistry Scar and Robin, as well as John and the rest of the characters is extremely well written. It's developed in such a real way and I loved the notion that a girl could be just as tough as the guys were during this time period. The bond, the loyalty, trust, and friendship this group has was well defined and portrayed in Scarlet. A.C. also does a great job at touching on the subjects of how girls/women were treated during this time through Scar. I truly felt like this version of Robin Hood is by far the best I've read, but maybe that's because it falls in line with how I like to picture some of the characters. Aside from Scar/Will, I loved what she did with Marian! I like to think she would have had a lot of those same characteristics. Robin Hood and John... *sigh* These two characters couldn't have been written any better in my eyes. They are flawed, they're fearless, courageous, and do what they feel is right for the people they serve. They also have some fabulous scenes together where their jealous gets the best of them over Scar. John definitely provides some of the laugh out moments.

I am totally in LOVE with this book! I feel like I should crave a big heart into a tree with the initials MM's + S = Love in the middle of it. I felt like A.C. did an amazing job at not only telling the story, but making sure this story stayed true to the lore of Robin Hood, as well as making it credible with her own vision of it. She did a brilliant job with capturing the essence of Robin Hood, and creating an incredibly strong heroine in Scarlet. Scarlet's story is absolutely amazing! If you're a fan of Robin Hood, I highly recommend picking this book up! Along with my love of the story, I love this cover! It fits the character of Scar perfectly.

Scarlet AC Gaughen Books Reviews

I have to say, I am very torn as I write this review. I had such high expectations, and after reading the first few pages I almost dropped the notion of finishing it. However, while I have my gripes with the book, it IS brimming with great potential.
Pros it has lots of great action that keeps you intrigued, especially towards the end, and the characters have heart. They do grow in you. The last bits of the book show the real tenderness between Robin and Scarlet, and it was sweet. I enjoyed Much's involvement, too.
Cons this is all just my preference, you may find it great despite the little factors that kept prodding at me while I read. I don't care for the forced sounding had grammar Scarlet used throughout, and I am never a fan of any characters using God or His name as a curse. Robin has a very peculiar way of showing Scarlet he cares for her and doesn't want her with Little John, and it's not how I imaged he would treat the girl he loves, regardless of her choice to dress as a boy or uncertainty of what she wants.
All in all, I AM glad I read it, but I'm not convinced of continuing the series. Again, I guess it's all about preference, so do give it a try and see what you think.
This book was awesome! I was so completely engrossed in the story that I managed to block out everything around me. I read the book in two sittings. I couldn't put it down.

I will warn you there is a love triangle. In general I think love triangles are overused and abused. However, in Scarlet I didn’t mind it. I don’t want to give anything away so I won’t go into details, but the love triangle actually helped the story and was fine. It was also not overdone.

The writing is a little bit different. Here are a couple random sentences from the first page of the book

No one really knows ’bout me
It were too hot and stank of beer and men
It were heaving with bodies, laughs, and mugs slinging ’bout
that I’m none too pleased ’bout

It is written through the eyes of Will Scarlet so its written like he talks. And he talks like a peasant in Medieval times. Halfway through the first page I wasn’t sure I’d be able to finish the whole book if it stayed like that. (it did) But after a couple pages I didn’t even notice it anymore and it didn’t bother me at all. I actually kind of liked it. However, when I stopped reading and then came back, I had forgotten how bad it was and it took me a couple pages to re-adjust but then I was fine again. It reminded me of Pudd’nhead Wilson by Mark Twain. There were certain characters in that story that were hard to understand. Scarlet wasn’t nearly as bad as Pudd’nhead Wilson . Also, as an added bonus, the way Will talks comes into play later in the book, so its not completely pointless. Don’t let the grammar scare you! Its worth it. Just try and get through the first couple pages and hopefully you will get used to it like I did!

I went through a Robin Hood phase in middle school where I read every single Robin Hood re-telling I could find. Because of that I will always have a soft spot for Robin Hood books, especially ones where the girls are not just love interests but part of the band. My favorite from before, was one where Robin was a girl. Since then there have been a lot more re-tellings with female Robins, but this is the first with a female Will Scarlet. (not a spoiler, it says Will is a girl in the synopsis) It was super creative.

The plot was great too. It kept all the Robin Hood vibes but was unique enough that it kept me on my toes. There were some really great twists and turns. Like I mentioned before I was completely engrossed in the book! It was awesome. (I also enjoyed the chance to use Robin Hood gifs) There is a very real chance this book may re-start my Robin Hood obsession, but at least there are two more books in the series to keep me satisfied!
